IPL 2023: Shubman Gill showed selfishness? Ditched balls to score a century, scored only 24 runs in the last 19 balls

Shubman Gill Century: These days the star of young opener Shubman Gill is very high in Indian cricket. Brilliant innings are coming out of his bat one after the other. From fans to legendary players like Virat Kohli have also become admirers of Gill. On Monday, this player played a century against Sunrisers Hyderabad. After this innings, gills were everywhere. However, seeing his innings, the question also arose whether Gill was playing for his century and not for the team.

Shubman Gill started fast

Gill gave it his all to get Gujarat Titans off to a good start. He batted very fast. He had completed his half-century in just 22 balls. One after the other, great shots came out of his bat. This player had scored 77 runs in 39 balls. But as he got closer to the century, his pace slowed down.

Gill ate many balls for the century

Gill scored the last 24 runs of his innings in 19 balls. Due to him, the run rate of Gujarat Titans also reduced considerably. The team that scored 131 in the first 12 overs could manage only 188 runs. The team could only score 54 in the last 8 overs. Seeing Gill’s slow batting, it is being said that Gill only wanted to complete his century in the last over.

Gujarat Titans reached the playoffs

This explosive batsman from Gujarat reached 90 for the second time this season. Earlier, he remained unbeaten on 94 off 51 balls against Lucknow Super Giants. He had scored half-centuries five times. In such a situation, he wanted to complete his century in any situation and it showed in his batting as well. Gujarat Titans’ target of 188 proved too big for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team could score only 154 runs in 20 overs losing nine wickets. Gujarat won this match by 34 runs and also confirmed their place in the playoffs.
